Is there a generic way to handle any mail-user-agent?  E.g. if you want
to add attachments, is there any better way that just doing a case

This wouldn't work if we are sending patches to a mailing list that
assumes patches are sent out by git send-email, and that the messages
can be filtered through git am.
